CIVIL ACTION - REPLEVIN
REPLEVIN COMPLAINT
Plaintiff, PA Public Works, Inc., files this Replevin Complaint against the Defendant,
Hempt Bros., Inc., pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1071, et. seq., as follows:
PARTIES
1. The Plaintiff, PA Public Works, Inc. ("Plaintiff') is a Pennsylvania business
corporation with a principal place of business at 1124 McLaughlin Run Road, Bridgeville,
Allegheny County, PA 15017 and a business address at 238 Locust Point Road, Mechanicsburg,
Cumberland County, PA 17050.
2. The Defendant, Hempt Bros., Inc. ("Defendant"), is a Pennsylvania business
corporation with a principal place of business at 205 Creek Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania 17011 and a business address at 49 North Locust Point Road,
Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17050.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
3. Jurisdiction and venue are appropriate in this Court because Hempt has a principal
place of business in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
4. Jurisdiction and venue are appropriate in this Court because the events and
transactions giving rise to the Plaintiffs cause of action occurred in Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
5. Venue in this Court is proper pursuant to Rule 1072 of the Pennsylvania Rules of
Civil Procedure.
BACKGROUND
6. The Plaintiff leases a facility located at 238 Locust Point Road, Mechanicsburg,
Pennsylvania, 17050 (the "Facility"). The Facility belongs to a third party.
7. The Plaintiff uses the Facility to sell, store, and repair heavy equipment and for
administrative purposes.
8. At some point between December 29, 2007 and January 14, 2008, the Defendant
contacted the Plaintiff and inquired as to the availability of a street sweeper for the Defendant to
purchase from the Plaintiff.
2
9. After a series of discussions between the parties, on January 14, 2008, Plaintiff's
agent, Kenneth Moyer, contacted the Defendant's agent and informed the Defendant that the
Plaintiff had identified a street sweeper it could obtain from one of the Plaintiff's manufacturers
and sell to the Defendant (the "Subject Street Sweeper").
10. The Plaintiff originally quoted the Defendant a sale price of $178,000 for the
Subject Street Sweeper.
11. After further negotiation, the parties agreed to a purchase and sale price for the
Subject Street Sweeper of $165,000. The Defendant agreed to the $165,000 sale price and
instructed the Plaintiff to order and arrange for the delivery of the Subject Street Sweeper to the
Defendant.
12. It was the agreement between the parties that Plaintiff would deliver the Subject
Street Sweeper to the Defendant and the Defendant, within thirty (30) days, would make
payment to the Plaintiff. Upon receipt of payment, the Plaintiff was to convey legal title for the
Subject Street Sweeper to the Defendant. The Defendant agreed to this arrangement.
13. Under the terms of their agreement, once the Defendant took possession of the
Subject Street Sweeper, the Defendant was to pay the Plaintiff the $165,000 purchase price.
14. Upon receipt of the Defendant's $165,000, the Plaintiff was to formally transfer
title to the Subject Street Sweeper to the Defendant.
15. The Plaintiff ordered the Subject Street Sweeper from the manufacturer on
January 18, 2008. The Subject Street Sweeper was delivered to the Plaintiff from the
manufacturer on January 28, 2008.
16. On January 31, 2008, the Plaintiff delivered the Subject Street Sweeper, as
agreed, to the Defendant at the Defendant's main office at 205 Creek Road, Camp Hill, PA
17050.
17. At the time of the January 31, 2008 delivery, the Plaintiff provided the Defendant
with an invoice for the Subject Street Sweeper. The invoice specifically states that payment was
due within thirty (30) days. A true and correct copy of the invoice is attached hereto as Exhibit
`A' and made a part hereof by reference.
18. Subsequent to the January 31, 2008 delivery of the Subject Street Sweeper to the
Defendant, the Plaintiff made several demands for payment.
19. Defendant refused and continues to refuse to make payment to the Plaintiff for the
Subject Street Sweeper.
20. Because the Defendant has failed and refuses to make payment to the Plaintiff in
the amount of $165,000, the Plaintiff has not transferred title to the Subject Street Sweeper to the
Defendant.
21. Despite not making payment, the Defendant has refused and continues to refuse to
return the Subject Street Sweeper to the Plaintiff.
22. The Defendant has been observed using the Subject Street Sweeper on two
separate occasions. The Defendant has affixed a fraudulent license plate to the Subject Street
Sweeper so as to give the appearance of a properly registered vehicle.
23. Upon information and belief, the Defendants operation of the Subject Street
Sweeper is without insurance.
4
24. It is believed and therefore averred that the value of the Subject Street Sweeper is
$165,000.
25. It is believed and therefore averred that the Plaintiff's Subject Street Sweeper is
located at the Defendant's property located at 49 North Locust Point Road, Mechanicsburg,
Pennsylvania, 17050.
26. The Subject Street Sweeper is a Freightliner M-Z Chassis with Vehicle
Identification Number 1 FVACXCS47HX64161 with an attached Elgin Whirlwind MV Street
Sweeper.
REQUEST FOR RELIEF
27. The averments of paragraphs 1 through 31 above are incorporated herein by
reference as if fully set forth.
28. Title to the Subject Street Sweeper remains in the Plaintiffs name.
29. Upon demand, the Defendant has failed, and continues to fail, to return the
Subject Street Sweeper to the Plaintiff.
30. Upon information and belief, the Defendant has used and is continuing to use the
Plaintiff's Subject Street Sweeper for its own benefit.
31. The Defendant has no right to possession and/or use of the Plaintiff's Subject
Street Sweeper.
32. The Defendant's conduct as set forth herein is outrageous such that an assessment
of punitive damages and attorneys' fees is warranted.
5
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court enter judgment in its
favor and against the Defendant for return of the Subject Street Sweeper to the Plaintiff, and
award the Plaintiff monetary damages for the Defendant's unauthorized use of the Subject Street
Sweeper, together with Court costs, attorneys' fees, punitive damages, and such other relief as
the Court deems just and appropriate under the circumstances.
